This talented band is lead by Amos Garrett's on lead guitar, Gene Taylor on piano, and Doug Sahm on a variety of instruments. The lineup is rounded out by a tight rhythm section and a few guest musicians (most notably Queen Ida, who adds vocals and accordion to two numbers). Each of the three men takes a turn in the vocal spotlight, and their choices in material are consistent with their previous output. Doug Sahm's version of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" is perfect, with Garrett's unmistakable liquid guitar lines coursing through it. Gene Taylor, with his blues background (and stints with Canned Heat, the Blasters, and others), contributes a few of his roadhouse-fun originals. Amos Garrett's greatest work is on Terry Allen's "Amarillo Highway."

Personnel: Amos Garrett (vocals, guitar); Doug Sahm (vocals, guitar, dobro, organ); Gene Taylor (vocals, piano); Queen Ida (vocals, accordion); Kit Johnson (vocals, bass instrument); Michelle Josef (vocals, drums).

This cd includes two bonus tracks one of which is a 14 minute interview with Doug Sahm
